Dear Riverbend,
I have a new understanding of the war after reading your August blogs. The war never felt that real to me because it’s not in my country, it’s in yours. I don’t ever have to determine the type of guns that are being shot, or worry that my house is going to be raided. The blogs give me new sympathy for what you are going through and makes it feel real. I know that you don’t hate Americans but if some of the things that happened to you had happened to me i think i would hate the troops also. And even though I am an American I have mixed feelings about the war and the troops just like you do. It’s a hard time to see what is right and wrong and take a side. Also i think it’s so sad that women are not allowed to go out of the house alone anymore. It’s like taking 1 step forward and then about 50 steps back. Women have finally gotten equal rights and it’s sad to see that they have been taken away so quickly.
